Hardback. Condition: New. Prediction has a venerable tradition among economists. In ""Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren,"" John Maynard Keynes, the well known classical economist,-even as the Great Depression was unfolding-famously threw aside the contemporary ""attack of economic pessimism"" and predicted that a century later the ""standard of life"" in economically progressive countries would be ""between four and eight times as high as it is to-day."" History has generally vindicated this optimism. As a whole-like Keynes and other economists who have answered this question about the future-our experts are generally optimistic, although the optimism is carefully guarded in some cases. This optimism accords with the broader opinion held by economists surveyed about a decade ago, although the intervening ten years of disappointing economic performance appears to have tempered it a bit. The reasons for economic optimism are abundant but can be boiled down to the fact that economists expect technology will continue to improve provided that reasonable economic incentives to encourage this discovery and to implement its fruits persist. The predicted changes range from innocent innovations that will make life a bit more comfortable (such as the pillow that learns your sleep rhythms partnered with the coffee maker that knows when you have awakened) to potentially chilling technologies that might strip our human dignity (including the almost complete elimination of privacy and electronic supplementation of the brain embedded in a government controlled educational system). So pull up a chair and listen to our group of experts expound on what they think our economic future is going to look like in fifty years.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Inequality is an exceptionally beautiful thing. Or maybe it's a terribly ugly thing. It depends on what is unequal and why it is unequal. Love it or loathe it, this collection is full of insights about the connections among fairness, liberty, equality and the quest for human dignity. With egalitarian sentiments and concerns about inequality on the rise, In All Fairness proves to be incredibly timely. In this collection of essays, authors challenge recent misbegotten egalitarian ideas, exposing the quicksand on which they rest and the self-serving interests they often promote. While each chapter offers unique insights, the overriding theme is that fairness must rest on a conception of humanity that recognizes the dignity of each person-a dignity that requires everyone to respect individual choices and voluntary transactions.…

Hardback. Condition: New. "Anyone concerned with social justice will find this book makes him question his assumptions, rethink his premises, and think!" -Andrew P. Morriss, professor, Bush School of Government and Public Service, School of Law, Texas AandM UniversityWhat is social justice? In these pages, twenty-one accomplished academics seek to do justice to "social justice." Inequality exists and it obviously causes rifts in societies. But it's not obvious how the government should address those rifts, or if it should address them at all. Have we forgotten the perhaps more efficient power of personal choice-and the corollary obligation: to serve our neighbors-to make our society more humane? Beginning with the first political philosophers in ancient Athens, and continuing right through Marx into our post-modern era, men have wrestled with the question of justice; and the answers have been as earnest as they have been varied. Today, our "expert" class also claim to have answers-updated answers, more "equitable" answers, more technological answers . in short, answers that are simply better suited to our times.But are those answers in any way correct? Do they work? Are they-just? In these elegant, nuanced essays, the authors use the wisdom of ancient and modern philosophers to shed light on these important questions-and the answers are revealing. Armed with ample evidence from real-world experiences, lessons from history, the wisdom of the classics, modern philosophers, and even the teachings of the world religions, the contributors of Is Social Justice Just? Illuminate the central role of the individual in achieving justice in all its aspects. Read Is Social Justice Just? And discover: how to do social justice wrong with the poison of resentment, envy, and ignorance;how to do social justice right with the insights of philosophers and theologians;how to respect people's rights and liberties without sacrificing true equality;and how to reform flawed public policies that just make everything worse. In a world of partisanship, hysteria, maliciousness, and good intentions attached to hellish outcomes, this landmark book enters the public discourse at a critical time. With a foreword by Jordan B. Peterson, a preface by Nicholas Rescher, and a collection of essays by some of the best and brightest scholars of our time, Is Social Justice Just? is a timely and urgent work. Read it, and you will begin to think about "social justice," and justice, in some surprising new ways.…
